What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue supporting patient-centered clinical care through medical assisting, care coordination, scheduling, and administrative support in a collaborative healthcare environment.

I'm currently supporting patients and twelve providers at East Valley Dermatology, managing high-volume communications, scheduling, insurance eligibility, prior authorizations, specialty medications, and patient advocacy.

Across Dignity Health, River People Health Center, and Gila River Healthcare, I've collected histories and vitals, documented in EMRs, managed clinical communications, and supported in-person and virtual care across multiple specialties.

My dermatology experience includes assisting with MOHS and excision procedures, maintaining sterile environments, scribing in EMA, supporting CPT and ICD-10 coding, and educating patients on treatment plans and post-operative care.
